Inspiration for this tablescape came from the silk flowers above. They are purple and green hydrangeas that I fell in love with a few months ago not knowing what I would use them for.

I found these purple wavy edge plates at Walmart last month. They were only $3 each, not as good as Dollar Tree, but still a good price!It is so hard to get a true picture of purple, it sometimes looks blue, or light purple,

or even black!

I placed a sparkly leaf in the center with a sparkly purple pine cone in the center of each plate.

The gold leaf chargers and gold trim flatware compliment the purple.

For the centerpiece I placed the hydrangeas in the gold mercury glass bowl.I have used all the gold recently in other tablescapes. I love being able to use the same items, with different tablescapes since they all turn out differently.

I've also used the same gold trimmed crystal glasses:

The photo below was taken with the flash, but it washes out the color of the flowers.

This purple is too dark:

This purple is too light!

I just held a plate up to the screen and none of the pictures are the true purple! Please use your imagination! LOL!

Even the wall colors are not the true colors here:

Or here, the top one is too dark:

Another one too dark and dull:

This is a very simple tablescape, but a doable one that anyone can use and can do it very inexpensively.

We have been invited to Thanksgiving dinner with friends, so it is an easy time for me! What are you doing? Cooking? Dining out? Whatever, enjoy your day!

Monday

Table Top Tuesday is hosted by Marty at A Stroll Thru Life, thanks Marty for hosting so we can all share our ideas! Click on her name for more inspiration!

My tabletop today is the Thanksgiving vignette on the small curio cabinet in the dining room.I used the brown ceramic cornucopia filled with fruit, vegetables, and faux leaves. I found the cornucopia many years ago at a thrift shop.

The Indian maiden came from Hobby Lobby a few years ago, as did the "Give Thanks" metal sign.

The other end of the curio cabinet has a resin turkey, also from Hobby Lobby. The faux Aspen fall leaves are in the crystal vase.

On the right side of the curio cabinet is this vignette:The Pilgrim rag dolls are from TJ MaxxHow cute are they??

I think it's time I named them, any name suggestions?All I can think of is Mildred and Marshall.I can't remember any famous Pilgrim names, can you?

I've forgotten where I bought the wicker pumpkins, I've had them for years.

This is not a tabletop, but I wanted to show you the fall garland I found at Hobby Lobby last week!

I call it my valance fall jewelry!

(The pearls on the right side are there year around.)

One more time:

Here's the foyer decor (I featured this last week on TTT)

I'm hoping to share one more fall tablescape (if Susan has Tablescape Thursday this week.) Then I'll pack up my fall decor and start decorating for Christmas! I hope to get an early start this year since we aren't having any company for Thanksgiving.

Prayer - before going on the internet

Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Your image and taught us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we ask You, that during our journeys through the internet, we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to You and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
